Ogden Nature Center

Welcome to the Ogden Nature Center

The Ogden Nature Center's mission is to unite people with nature and nuture appreciation and stewardship of the environment.

Located in the heart of Ogden, you'll find a 152-acre nature preserve open to the public for discovery and exploration. Outside you can enjoy picnic areas & tree houses, wander the trails and meet birds of prey. Inside you can explore two green buildings to learn about sustainable structures, play with hands-on nature exhibits, meet native animal species like snakes and tortoises, and shop at a unique gift store.

The Ogden Nature Center's focus is education. We offer a wide variety of community programs for all ages including art, photography, birding, wildlife in Utah, outdoor recreation, conservation, sustainability and more. During the school year elementary school children enjoy outdoor field trips and in the summer, nature-themed camps are open to the public.
